Middle School

Welcome to Middle School!

Middle school is an exciting season of discovery, growth, and new opportunities, and at Friends Christian Middle School, we’re here to help your child navigate it all with confidence and purpose. Serving students in fifth through eighth grade, we provide a Christ-centered environment where academics and faith come together to prepare students for what’s next.

Academics & Faith, Together

From dynamic classroom discussions to real-world problem solving, our students are challenged to think critically, explore their unique talents, and see God’s hand in every aspect of their learning.

A Stage and a Team for Every Student

From musical performances to competitive athletics, middle schoolers get real opportunities to perform, compete, and lead. Whether your child is building a portfolio on stage or building character on the field, the same values carry through: discipline, teamwork, and humility in both victory and defeat.

Our Teachers & Community

Our dedicated teachers and staff are passionate about equipping students with the tools they need to succeed, not just in the classroom, but in life. At Friends Christian Middle School, your child will be part of a welcoming, close-knit community where they can thrive academically, deepen their relationship with Jesus, and build friendships that last a lifetime.

Ready for High School, and Beyond

Our academics step up to prepare every student for a strong high school transition. Friends Christian graduates go on to respected Christian high schools like Orange Lutheran and Rosary, ready and sought after, not just finished.

Clubs & Organizations

Clubs give students a chance to discover their gifts, nurture their passions, and build life skills outside the regular school day.

Clubs: American Heritage Girls · Choir · Robotics Club · Student Government · Chess Club

Also, Middle School students elected to the Associated Student Body (ASB) attend an ACSI-sponsored Leadership Conference. Students can also join Lions News, the school’s online newspaper, learning camera, video, and editing skills while covering campus life, sports, and school events. Throughout the year, FCS also hosts Spirit Week, Extreme Games, Lunch Games, and Special Dress Days.
